**EXCLUSIVE: MSI HD 7970 LIGHTNING AVAILABLE FROM OCUK!**

[Mr. May]

Any picture of these crossfired?

As the crossfire fingers are burried right in the card and the standard bridges wont fit

Have to convince myself not to buy this

Thought perhaps these were being reduced to counter the pending release from the green team.

My bank account did that easily. If one of these was faster than a 6990 then I might be more tempted even for the money.

Fancy an exchange? I'd be happy to donate a kidney.

Great looking card! Would love one of these but really can't justify paying this much for a graphics card!

 

[Gibbo]

Arriving tomorrow guys!

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Just been having a play, got it too 1230MHz core at 1.2mv, not too shabby.

Can I just confirm something please? Do these draw air in through those fans and then expel out the rear or the other way around?

Yes some goes out the rear, but not all. This card seems to run no hotter than 60c under load when overclocked, which is impressive and it remains very quiet indeed.

Thanks for confirming. I think I had just assumed wrongly that those fans rotated such that they were blowing air out sideways away from the heat sink which wouldn't suit the air flow so well with most the exhaust being extracted behind the graphic card over by the cpu.
